FREE Tuition - Take a look at our Latest
News section for details of our fantastic equipment package for 2010 - it's unbeatable (a glider, harness, reserve parachute and helmet for £2995.00 and no tuition fees). Why pay for training when you can have it FREE?
ParAvion has been registered since 1989 with the British Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association (BHPA) and is one of the most highly respected and successful schools in the UK.
For more details on the way the school operates and our teaching methods, simply click on the red paraglider to the left marked 'School'.
We are situated (click here) in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside just outside the market town of Marlborough in a purpose built industrial unit on the main London to Bath road (A4).
Our full time, professional paragliding centre is less than two hours driving time from central London and we can be reached from Reading, Oxford, Southampton or Bristol in under an hour.
Please feel free to call in anytime for a chat or just to take a look around our shop. We have most things the paraglider pilot is likely to need, but there will never be any pressure for you to purchase.
If you intend to make a special trip to see us, please call first and let us know you're coming, because occasionally we may close for a couple of hours or we might be busy in the workshop. There is also a very good chance we could all be out flying.
The school operates seven days a week including bank holidays (weather permitting), but the shop and office hours are as follows:
| Monday | 1000 |
1700 |
| Tuesday | 1000 |
1700 |
| Wednesday | 1000 |

| Friday | 1000 |

| Saturday | 1000 |
1400 |
| Sundays & Bank Holidays | Closed |

Please Note - in winter, we'll sometimes close the shop at lunchtime (and even all day on non-flyable weekends if we're not very busy). On the other hand, if you can't visit us during our normal opening hours we're happy to open earlier or stay later for you - just call to arrange an appointment.
ParAvion Paragliding Centre is a BHPA (British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association) registered school.
